Earth hour anyone do it?

Question

Did you guys participate? Me. my husbands, and our kids did. We let them stay up for an extra hour.We thought it would be a learning experience for them. We live in New York "The city that never sleeps" which is true lights are on 24/7! and it isn't good. Well I'm not here to lecture you guys I just wanted to know if anyone did or not

Answer 1

Yes, my family did turn everything off.  We lit candles and played word games.  I was great!  This is what we do when the electricity goes off in a storm, especially a snowstorm.  It's a lot of fun and really makes you think about the things you can do without.  Also, I remember the first Earth Day, I was in 11th grade!  I'm hoping this catches on and my kids will remember the first Earth Hour!

Answer 2

no :(

Answer 3

OH... absolutely..

We turned the lights out and drank some beers.

Didn't really notice when the hour was up.  

Glad to see other participated too.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Well, no, unfortunately.... I know I should've.  I'll be going to bed soon, so I'll turn off the lights then.  lol

Answer 6

Yeah, I did it!

Answer 7

Yeah it was good.

Answer 8

Oh yeah, we DID it.

I turned the lights off and my wife suddenly had all kinds of energy.

Candles, Kris?????  You are dumping a lot more carbon into the atmosphere with a candle than a light bulb.

Answer 9

I am right now in Colorado,I have just my computer on. I have candles burning,and a small flashlight.

Answer 10

I switched my lights off! Well, we kept one or 2 lights on so we could actually do some stuff, but we made up for it by keeping the rest off for about an extra hour.
